花与主人 (明明)


花与主人 (明明)

在机缘巧合下,明明收到一份礼物。 他打开来, 原来是包兰花种子。一直以来,明明是个爱花之人。可是里头只有2-3颗种子。兴奋的他,便开始种植兰花。

刚开始,他只浇浇水,偶而晒晒太阳他那第一颗种子。可是没有多久,他那第一颗种子没有种植成功。不肯认输的明明,又开始种植他那第二颗种子,这次他天天浇水和晒太阳。他那第二颗种子,开始发芽,明明很高兴。可是他又重蹈覆辙,只偶而浇浇水,晒晒太阳。很快地,明明又种植失败。最后一颗种子,明明下定决心好好种植它。

在他天天浇水,晒太阳和施肥,每晚与它聊聊天或播放音乐。终于在他细心呵护下,最后一颗种子发芽,慢慢地,一朵朵兰花都开得很漂亮。明明很开心,每天都期待马上 回家看看它。一天天过去了,渐渐地明明又感到乏味。

一如往常地去上班,明明经过了一间新开的花店,看到五颜六色的花,一时兴起,买了其中一个品种的花回家。后来,明明天天更换不同品种的花。 日复一日,明明忘了他曾经细心呵护下的兰花。没有明明的呵护后,兰花已经失去它原本的光彩。

闲暇之日,明明打算来个大扫除。在大扫除之于,他发现角落有盆花。他走近点看,才焕然大悟。没有明明之前的呵护,兰花已经枯萎了。明明很难过和后悔,只因自己一时惰性,才白白牺牲了自己曾经细心呵护下的兰花。


Perhaps, you may puzzle over what is the moral of the story. To be frank, I wrote this story myself after I read a post about affair in a forum.

In my story, the orchid is referring to the Wife while the master (Ming Ming) is referring to Husband.

Before stepping into marriage, Ming Ming been through a few failure relationships (number of seeds). Only when he decided to put in his best effort and sincerity for his next relationship. Eventually, Ming Ming and orchid (Wife) get married. With his care and concern, orchid continues does her part to beautify his world. However, Ming Ming is tired of going home or either starts a conversation with her. He begins to turn to other woman (flowers). Due to lack of his care and concern, eventually his marriage has come to an end. Before he realised that he was at fault, everything was too late to salvage.

Moral of story, in order to maintain good relationship in marriage, both parties have to contribute that required persistence, responsibility, promises, care and concern.
